Description
"On May 3, 1901, a patch of moss laid out to dry near the Cleveland Fiber Factory at Beaver and Davis Streets caught fire from a chimney ember. The fire became an uncontrollable blaze that spread quickly eastward across Downtown. By the end of the day, the fire burned 2,368 buildings and 466 acres. These charred remains included the oldest and most densely populated areas of Downtown, including 23 churches, 10 hotels and the majority of the public buildings. The 1901 fire was the largest metropolitan fire in the South and third largest fire in the country, leaving 8,677 residents homeless." (downtownjacksonville)
